Mock e-session

• Big bundles of Bills, notifications and question-answers to be taken up in the Assembly to be a thing of the past
• All documents will be available on the tablet screens of respective legislators
• A mock e-session with all MLAs in attendance should be held to understand the functioning of the e-Vidhan Sabha

New vidhan sabha building for soon

Haryana will soon get a new Vidhan Sabha building. Through NIVA, we will be able to see the functioning of not only the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, but also that of the Lok Sabha and the vidhan sabhas of other states. — Manohar Lal Khattar, Chief Minister

He said the e-Vidhan Sabha would also prove useful from environmental point of view as it would make the House paperless. The CM was speaking at the launch of a two-day workshop on National e-Vidhan Application (NIVA) organised by the Haryana Vidhan Sabha at Panchkula today.

The Chief Minister said Haryana would soon get a new Vidhan Sabha building. “Through NIVA, we would be able to see the functioning of not only the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, but also that of the Lok Sabha and the vidhan sabhas of other states,” he said.

Big bundles of Bills, notifications and question-answers to be taken up in the Assembly would soon be a thing of the past. All these documents would be available on the tablet screens of respective MLAs. He advocated for a mock e-session with all MLAs in attendance to understand the functioning of the e-Vidhan Sabha.

Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said the state government would bear 60 per cent of the project cost, while 40 per cent would be spent by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs.
